The future battlefield is expected to be very different from what it is today because of the development of new technologies. In particular, it becomes difficult to predict the war's outcome as AI and robots, whose performance is improved, participate in the battlefield. Accordingly, major countries including the US and China regard AI as the key technology and game changer that changing national competitiveness and future wars. Therefore, they are concentrating their efforts at the national level to occupy advance related technologies and to develop AI weapon systems. For this reason, countries are preparing strategies and policies to defense AI, and are actively expanding infrastructure, such as establishing organizations. In Korea, Defense AI is also being promoted. But, it suffers from a lack of governance that manages and controls integrally. Nevertheless, a significant consensus is forming on the necessity of establishing a defense AI center. In this study, we analyzed the status of defense AI promotion in major foreign countries such as the US, UK, and Australia, and suggested some implications for the establishment of defense AI policies.

The UAE government has set its sights on creating a smart, electronic-based government system that utilizes AI. The country's collaboration with India aims to bring substantial returns through AI innovation, with a target of over $20 billion in the coming years. To achieve this goal, the UAE launched its AI strategy in 2017, focused on improving performance in key sectors and becoming a leader in AI investment. To ensure public safety as the role of AI in government grows, the country is working on developing integrated cyber security solutions for SCADA systems. A questionnaire-based study was conducted, using the AI IQ Threat Scale to measure the variables in the research model. The sample consisted of 200 individuals from the UAE government, private sector, and academia, and data was collected through online surveys and analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling. The results indicate that the AI IQ Threat Scale was effective in measuring the four main attacks and defense applications of AI. Additionally, the study reveals that AI governance and cyber defense have a positive impact on the resilience of AI systems. This study makes a valuable contribution to the UAE government's efforts to remain at the forefront of AI and technology exploitation. The results emphasize the need for appropriate evaluation models to ensure a resilient economy and improved public safety in the face of automation. The findings can inform future AI governance and cyber defense strategies for the UAE and other countries.

The core technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, the cloud, big data, and mobile networks, are inspiring major changes and innovations in the defense sector worldwide. The United States, China, and Russia are pursuing defense research and development strategies that seek to maintain their leadership on the battlefield in the future through the overwhelming superiority of defense science technology. Defense science and technology concentrate on the development of challenging new disruptive technologies to efficiently respond to future battlefield environments, where the immediate process of determining the outcome of a war will lead to combat power. In this paper, we first look at the development strategies of the 4th Industrial Revolution in major countries and describe the latest trends in defense science and technology accordingly.

This paper describes a numerical and experimental study on the stability and failure behaviour of rectangular symmetric laminated composite plates. The plates are simply supported along the unloaded edges and clamped along the loaded ends, and they are subjected to uniaxial in-plane compression. The finite element method was employed for the theoretical study. The study examines the effect of the plate's stacking sequence and aspect ratio on the stability and failure response of rectangular symmetric laminated carbon fibre reinforced plastics composite plates. The study also includes the effect of the unloaded edge support conditions on the postbuckling response and failure of the plates. Extensive experimental investigation were also carried out to supplement the finite element study. A comprehensive comparison between theory and experimental data are presented and discussed in this contribution.

Effects of aging treatment on the microstructural evolution of a rapidly solidified Al-Li-Cu alloy were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). It was found that the precipitation sequence was: supersaturated solid solution ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ ${\rightarrow}$ metastable ${\delta}^{\prime}$ + stable precipitate $T_1$ ${\rightarrow}$ stable precipitates ${\delta}+T_1$. Two exothermic and two endothermic peaks are detected by DSC analysis. The two exothermic and endothermic peaks corresponded to ${\delta}^{\prime}$ and ${\delta}+T_1$ precipitation and dissolution reactions respectively. The enthalpy of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ precipitation decreased with increasing of aging temperature and time until the finishing point of precipitation. The activation energy for precipitation of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ was measured as 80KJ/mol and the energy for dissolution was 93KJ/mol. These values arc higher than those of AI-Li binary alloy. Peak hardness value (Hv 170) was obtamed at $210^{\circ}C$ for 1hr aging treatment which coincided with finishing point of ${\delta}^{\prime}$ precipitation.

Due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, innovation in various technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data (Big Data), and cloud (Cloud) is accelerating, and data is considered an important asset. With the innovation of these technologies, various efforts are being made to lead technological innovation in the field of defense science and technology. In Korea, the government also announced the "Defense Innovation 4.0 Plan," which consists of five key points and 16 tasks to foster advanced science and technology forces in March 2023. The plan also includes the establishment of a Condition-Based Maintenance system (CBM+) to improve the operability and availability of weapons systems and reduce defense costs. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) aims to secure the reliability and availability of the weapon system and analyze changes in equipment's state information to identify them as signs of failure and defects, and CBM+ is a concept that adds Remaining Useful Life prediction technology to the existing CBM concept [1]. In order to establish a CBM+ system for the weapon system, sensors are installed and sensor data are required to obtain condition information of the weapon system. In this paper, we propose a sensor data metadata schema to efficiently and effectively manage sensor data collected from sensors installed in various weapons systems.

근년 일본, 캐나다, 호주, 미국, EU(주로 노르웨이, 영국) 등에서 인공위성을 이용한 해양 안전의 확보를 위한 연구개발이 진행되고 있으며, 일부 실해역 적용의 분야도 도출되고 있는 실정이다. 9.11테러 이후, 국제해사기구에서도 해상보안의 문제는 주요 이슈로 대두되어, 해상보안에의 활용 기술 개발이 먼저 시작되었다. 그 외, 밀입국 선박 감시 덴 해양오염 모니터링이 주요 활용분야이다. 간단하게 요약하면 다음과 같다. -노르웨이: Norwegian Defence Hesearch Establishment(NDRE)에서 주도적으로 선박 탐지 실험 및 기술 개발을 실시. 주로, ESA의 위성을 활용. 국가 보안의 목적으로는 적용을 하고 있음. -캐나다: 캐나다에서 소유하고 있는 RADARSAT을 이용하여 가장 많은 실험을 실시함. 영상을 처리하고 결과에 대한 평가를 수행하기 위한 시스템(Ocean Monitoring Workstation, OSM)을 개발하여 보급에 주력. -호주: 주로 캐나다의 위성 및 시스템의 적용을 하고 있음 영해 및 환경 감시의 역할을 수행. Coastwatch조직을 만들어 해상 감시활동을 하고 있음. -영국: 데이터 취득 후, 2.5시간 이내에 선박의 위치를 전송하는 인터페이스를 개발함. 일본의 경우, 다른 선진국에 비해서는 다소 늦게 시작되었다. 2003년 발간된 '재해 등에 대응한 인공위성이용기술에 관한 종합보고서'를 시작으로 정보수집위성 4기 및 지구관측위성을 이용한 해양 감시 활동이 시작되었다. 또한, 제 3기 과학기술기본계획(2006-2012)내에 해양 불법침입 탐지 기술 개발 항목이 반영되어 있다. 유럽의 해상보안서비스(MARISS)의 사용자 워크숍이 ESA ESRIN(이탈리아 프라스카티)에서 2008년 1월 22일 열렸다. 실질적인 내용은, '해상보안을 위한 우주 시스템'에 관한 것으로 인공위성 이용하는데 있어 설계안 및 데이터 이용 컨셉을 제시하는 것이었다. 여기서 중요한 것은 국가간의 협력이 절대적으로 필요하며, 기존의 시스템과의 통합에 있어 신뢰성을 어떻게 확보하는가에 있다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 보안과 환경모니터링의 기능이 분리되어 진행되고 있는 부분에 대한 정보 통합 방향도 제기되었다. 국내에서도 AIS와 SAR정보의 결합에 관한 검토는 이루어졌으며, 이를 바탕으로 EU와 같은 시스템의 구축(조직과 연구개발)을 위한 실질적인 검토가 필요하다.
